You are right. OS 9 enabled to bridge between the two.

Seriously, removing half a functionality which disables backward
compatibility for no apparent reason is really stupid. I haven't updated my
MBP to Lion yet because I have more and more of a back taste of the Apple
control over everything. I got an Android phone for that reason (and I'm a
Java developer). If I can't do what I want with the machines I buy, then
there is a problem.
Anyways! That's a whole other subject.

Back to the subject at hand. I had searched for ways to transfer the files
and it's just complicated (for the above reasons). The easiest, I think,
will be FTP. The other file sharing protocols are either not supported or
has changed.

As for Alchemy, I haven't tried enough of both to compare. My music
equipment is piled up in a corner of the basement because I have to fix a
few things in the house. I got the Quadra by chance on local adds. Then I
just made sure it worked and that I could use the softwares.

Why is the transfer so slow? Are you using MIDI sample dump or the RS422
connection?
